Public Library Connect is now working. This means that using the Sora app, students have access to a statewide library of ebooks and audiobooks we pay to access, they can also now get access to the books in the Beverly library's Overdrive ebook/eaudio collection without needing a public library card!
This is a big win so I'm really excited to tell you about this.
The setup is pretty easy but there are a few steps. I'm going to work on creating some help documents, videos and presentations that can be used asynchronously, but I'm also happy to meet with you or your students to show you/them how to do it. It's a one-time setup.
With Sora we can also purchase (at a cost) books for short term class set use or longer term use. There are a lot of different models, which depend on the book and the publisher, so ask me if you're interested.
There are lots of other things that are accessible to those with public library cards too, so I'd still like as many of our students as possible to have their own cards. I'm working with 6th grade teachers on this process but can do a library card drive with any team.
